Wood Dale is airport community with family-friendly energy
The City of Wood Dale sits outside O’Hare International Airport, about 23 miles from Chicago. “For an airport community, it’s a really nice town,” says Jeavon Shegal, a Realtor with RE/MAX Central who has been in the business for nearly 30 years. “You can get a good-sized lot and feel spread out from your neighbors, but you also get all the [community] events the city puts on. Good schools, plenty of parks and nature preserves give Wood Dale a family-oriented vibe.” Students start at Wood Dale School District, which receives a B from Niche. Locals can explore the several parks in Wood Dale and visit one of several restaurants along Irving Park Road.
Wood Dale is a peaceful city within Addison Township of DuPage County and is home to about 13,500 people.

Wood Dale streets filled with variety of homes
Sidewalks border only some of the streets in Wood Dale, while others have green lawns that stretch to the pavement. However, there is one consistent feature. Nearly every home has a driveway because the city only allows overnight street parking with a permit. Mature trees fill the city, and yards are decorated with bushes, gardens and lawn ornaments that add some personality to the streets. New traditional houses from the late 1980s to 2000s, many with gable roofs and brick or stone exteriors, sit among ranch styles and split-level, some with saltbox influences, from the mid-20th century. Prices tend to fall between $325,000 and $475,000, although some homes can cost upward of $500,000. The city also has contemporary and postmodern condos that can cost between $250,000 and $325,000, while townhouses can cost between $300,000 and $375,000. Homeowners association fees, which cover most maintenance fees, range from $150 to $500 monthly.

Wood Dale students can explore career options
As part of Wood Dale School District 7, students can attend Oakbrook Elementary School for kindergarten through second grade. “Oakbrook has a community garden, and I know they do a lot of outdoor activities,” says Najera Miljevic, librarian with the Wood Dale Public Library who has lived and worked in the city for five years. Westview Elementary receives a B-minus from Niche and offers third through fifth grade, while Wood Dale Jr. High School scores a B. At Fenton High School, which earns a B-plus and is the only school in its district, students can participate in the Career Pathways program. This program aids students in exploring different careers by meeting with professionals and offering hands-on experience, with the hopes that they have some idea of what they want to do by graduation.
Westview Elementary School is a well rated public school in Wood Dale that offers several afterschool clubs for students, like art club and newspaper.

Centrally located Metra station offers train to Chicago
Interstate 290 runs along the bottom of the city and leads directly into Chicago, about 23 miles away. For anyone who prefers public transportation, the Metra is about a 40-minute ride. “The train station in the middle of town is a huge draw,” Miljevic says. O’Hare International Airport, which locals can get to in about 9 miles, offers approximately 850 nonstop flights daily, which can create high noise levels. To combat this, the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission approved the New Fly Quiet Program in 2022 to balance the impact of nighttime noise.

Most residents travel to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, about 10 miles away.
